Leitz 44780025 A5 Hard Cover Notebook, Red (80 Sheets, Ruled, with 2 Bookmarks, 100 gsm Ivory Paper, Complete Range)

I bought this, and red and black and a sigel notebook. This was by far the most expensive being double the cost of the others. It is not really worth the extra money, the sigel paper is as good but also with page numbers, the sigel pen holder is better being wider elastic band which holds a pen firmer, and I am not keen on the bright green elements and inner cover of the leitz. The leitz has a leather looking synthetic cover which is maybe the best and about 10 page stickers inside for marking pages which may be useful although not sure yet if these are reusable; I also prefer the pages in the leitz because there is a border all round and more space on the top line for title, whereas the sigel is all consistent lines with no border. The sigel has card holders which are useful and looks more subtle and professional in black cover / elasticated bands etc and cream pages. They all have wallets front and back to hold papers. I probably prefer the sigel overall with the better pen holder and subtle colours.

So many Notebooks, so many reviews... Why do people get so excited about a notebook? This is a premium product though, it looks and feels expensive. Colleagues glance covetously at it and surely that's enough reason to have one?I use this to take notes at meetings, to sketch out ideas and even use the back perforated pages to write notes or make lists of what I need to do. The sticky strips allow me to mark up important pages which I need go back to.The elastic band means my notebook stays closed when not in use. Which is ideal because I use the sleeve in the front and back pocket to store loose paper, receipts and business cards. But what I really love about this is the pen holder. I am forever going into my bag looking for a pen but to find they have all disappeared. Now I can be sure my pen is with my notebook.I know it sounds crazy but it just feels great to hold, although it’s a hard back it feels soft. The paper quality is great too; it’s not a bright white but a subtle soft ivory, which really looks the part.I carry it around everywhere with me and at work and it’s becoming a part of my 'brand'. I use it every day of the working week and fully expect it to last a long time. I don’t think I will ever go back to any other type of notebook.

This is the highest quality notebook there is. I bought mine white version and it had a white green theme inside. It is excellent because I do three courses a semester and there are two divider ribbons which means I can take perfect lecture notes all in one notebook. Is very simple design but of very high quality and strong build. I am very happy with this item and will definately purchase more for later semesters.

This notepad looks and feels of very high quality. It has a very professional, smart look about it, the pages are of pleasing thickness and the extra features including a pocket on the inside back cover, the pen holder and some sticky tabs to mark pages are great.I particuarly like that it is just marginally larger than my ipad mini as it makes it easy to hold and carry between meetings.I am so pleased with this item I will now be ordering some of the other sizes and colours for friends and family for Christmas as I think they make a lovely quality gift at a reasonable price.

These little notebooks are just fantastic, and such a bargain. Typically of Leitz, they are well made, and thoughtfully constructed - even down to having some sticky labels at the back, and a look to stow your pen. Really couldn't ask for more from a notebook.

This Leitz book impressed and exceeded my expectations... I had thought about buying it for months and I am glad that I did. Its perfect.

Well worth ththe extra. It's a tough size to buy in this country and even harder to buy with a pen loop. The quality is superb and I like the paper.

Very nice notebook. I use it for my language studies and it makes me want to study, it's that nice. Great that the ribbons have different colours. Only thing missing is page numbering really, but have just added that myself. Highly recommend this one!
